SUMMARY:Virtual Shadowing 2025 Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales and Scriptation hosted an in-depth Episodic Television Directing Class with two-time Emmy award-winning television director Mary Lou Belli\, whose directing credits include Elsbeth\, True Lies\, Sweet Magnolias\, NCIS: New Orleans\, and The Ms. Pat Show. \nSix Film Fatales members participated live in this highly interactive class as Virtual Shadows including: Anna Fahr\, Christina YR Lim\, Lilian T. Mehrel\, Melissa Haizlip\, Sonia Sebastian\, and Whitney Clinkscales. \nFilmmakers of all experience levels are invited to observe the class to learn how to prep from a working TV director! Together we will explore casting\, location scouting\, script breakdown\, scene blocking\, overheads\, and shot listing. Compare your work to an episode that has already aired and evaluate how your choices would be an alternative option or what you might change to make the work more “shootable.” \nMary Lou’s extensive teaching experience includes the 2023 Warner Brothers Discovery Access Directors Program as well as many vibrant diversity programs including ABC/Disney\, CBS\, Sony\, HBO Access\, and AFIDWW+.

SUMMARY:Changing The Ratio Emmys Members
DESCRIPTION:We had a blast at our in-person cocktail reception in Hollywood celebrating all the Film Fatales members nominated for Emmy Awards this year! There were some light bites\, great music\, and plenty of good cheer to go around. Co-hosted by AWFC\, Film Fatales\, ReFrame and WIF with support from Scriptation. \nChanging the Ratio is a cross-disciplinary networking event for industry professionals celebrating women and gender expansive filmmakers and below-the-line crew. As the Emmys are approaching\, our focus is to shine a light on some of the amazing projects and their creators from this year as we come together for a night of industry conversation and networking with professional filmmakers\, crew\, and influential industry decision-makers. \nWith the current under-representation of women and non-binary creatives across technical and craft categories – from directors to composers\, cinematographers\, VFX\, and editors – our collective goal with this event is to carve out and occupy shared space. As film award season is underway\, this event will highlight members across our organizations who have the potential to be nominated and considered for awards.

SUMMARY:Wellness Workshop Members
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales members impacted by the Los Angeles climate crisis were invited to an online wellness webinar with Dr. Annalise Ophelian from Reps on Set. Moderated by Film Fatales member Magdalena Albizu from NubianLatina Productions. \nWe’re in shock\, we’re overwhelmed\, we’re grieving\, we’re frightened. Whether you’ve been impacted directly\, are providing mutual aid\, or are witnessing from afar\, the Los Angeles fires have taken a huge toll on mental wellness. Joined by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Annalise Ophelian they offered a series of guided somatic exercises to help you cope with stress and overwhelming emotions brought on by recent events. Together we gained an understanding into how our nervous systems react to emergency situations\, and practiced breath work\, body movement\, and other tools designed to help us calm and soothe ourselves during unstable times. \nWe invited those displaced by the Los Angeles fires to join us however they can – this presentation is offered over zoom and was accessible to those calling in to listen to audio only\, and a full transcript and recording is available following the workshop. While this guided somatic webinar has been developed for Film Fatales members in Los Angeles\, all are welcome to rewatch. \nAccessibility Notes: This online workshop will be accessible with auto captions and ASL upon request. The transcript and recording will be shared the day after the live event
